high flow fuel pumps
i have a 01 ford f150 with a 4.6l motor. i have been making upgrades to it in prep for a supercharger. my questions is, will a high flow fuel pump cause any problems with a non-superchargered truck? if there will not be any problems, what brand and size sould i need? i plan to run about 10 to 12 lbs of boost. i just want to get all the little things that make a good supercharger install out of the way before i drop a lot of money a charger.
also, can anyone tell me what else i may need? i have a true dual exhuast w/ a h-pipe, short tube headers, 75mm throttle body, i ported the intake elbow out to 75mm and 90mm mass air flow. i plan on adding the high flow fuel pump, 42 lb injectors,high flow cats, boost/vac guage and fuel pressure guage. there are other upgrades to the trany and rear end that i want to make so the truck will handle the power better. i am just looking for advise on the motor. thanks to all that took time to read and consider my questions.

The pump shouldn't cause any problems. However, when you install the blower, I would recommend some type of tuning (DIY software or professional) to get the most out of your combo and to keep it from becoming a yard ordiment
Driveshaft loop and traction bars. The rest of your combo looks pretty good.

It's made of steel and goes around the driveshaft and mounts to the frame or some other rigid part of the truck. It mounts about 6" after the trans tail shaft and contains the driveshaft should it ever break/shear. It's a smart and inexpensive upgrade because, without one, the drive shaft can bounce around and take out many other things: gas tank, wiring, and even bend/brake the driveshaft itself.

the main reason they fit the driveshaft loop is so that ifr the front uj does shear or brake the driveshaft will not drop and imbed itself in the road catapulting the car (impressive to see wouldn't want to be in one though) in nz some of the modified vehicle certifiers make u put them in - others use discretion - only real justification as long as the driveshaft is up to the job is if the vehicle is supercharged as high torque launches can cause the uj's to shear

In regards to fuel pumps, I run an Aeromotive 1000hp one in my car (supercharged 5.4)...
Am REAL happy with it.
Could be overkill for your setup though, a 700hp pump would be fine.

There are several options for fuel pumps. You can run an inline pump, like what procharger sells. You can also change out the factory pump inside the tank for a bigger and better one, which is what I did on my turbo truck. 255lph will suffice. Bosh makes a great one, part number 0580254005.
I used a Walbro 255 lph fuel pump. They make the fuel pumps that come from the factory in the F150s, but they only pump 190 lph. The 255 lph I think came in one of the Cobras, or Mustangs or something like that, and they are a direct fit in out trucks. Wish I could remember the part number, but I can't. You can find them on Ebay for around 100 bucks shipped.
